Vintage Floral Fold Over Bag

I know that I've seen this style of bag recently. I saw it in a book and again on-line, although tonight I can't find reference to either. When I first saw it, there was an accompanying pattern. I looked at the simple shape and thought "Pattern? I don't need no stinking pattern!"

I'm not fully happy with how the button sits. It's a shank and should really be run through a hole into the interior of the bag for stability. I would also prefer an elastic to the ribbon tie. The blank square is where the new Green Cottage logo will be ironed on, as soon as the ink jet printer is set up again and I have one!

As an aside, you'll notice that I've recently learned how to add a watermark to my photos. While I'm not terribly concerned about image theft, I am still wary after not getting credit for the Duct Tape Double images Ready Made Blog used. I also created a dedicated "action" so that I can automatically have Photoshop add the watermark for me.

I love learning something new every day!
